The room was clean and comfortable with a beautiful creekside view. Furnishing were slightly worn and out of date. Staff was very nice and helpful.

If you're familiar with Gatlinburg then you know finding somewhere to stay can be tricky. The traffic can be brutal. This was a great pick, a little off the main stretch but not far, very close and walkable, but far enough that you could drive off without getting trapped in the traffic. You could go the back way and get to the bypass without hitting the main road traffic at all. Right on a the creek so it had a nice view and you could see the Ober Gatliberg ride too. Room was clean and comfortable.

We had a great time staying here and we will definitely be back to stay again!! Everything about our stay was 5 stars and more. I posted some pictures below of the nature that we could see outside of our motel room and also some of the critters that stopped by to say hello!! You will truly love staying here if you love nature and all that it has to offer!!
